Hello everyone. So i have been driving manual for 2 months without issues, but recently i have been noticing that when i shift from 1st to 2nd it doesn't go easily. I tried everything, like shifting at low or high rpm but it still struggles to go into 2nd. What could be the problem?
I found a toyota echo from 2002 that has 450 thousand kilometers on it. The guy said he replaced the original engine with a yaris engine and that the car is in good condition. Do you think I should buy it to learn on it or am wasting money?
I have been driving my father's car for 7 years but now I can afford to buy a car and I thought driving a manual would be fun, but my father tells me it is a bad idea because cars with manual transmission are old and will require a lot of repairs, and also that driving a manual is tiring because my country has a lot of traffic usually. I really want to do it not just for fun but also to learn more about cars, but I am not sure if buying an old car to drive a manual is a good idea while automatic cars are easier to drive and they give no headache. So what do you think, Is it a good idea or am I just giving myself trouble?
